RE.ZØED is the practice. SAMSARA is the first collection. I didn't source — I reconstructed.
For this first capsule I upcycled pieces, shoes, and ideas. A thrifted suit, a beat-up trench, a pair of combat boots someone else gave up on. Since this was the first collection where I was learning to sew, I mixed what I knew I could.
The work is in what happens after. Cut, bleach, wax, sumi ink, gold leaf, crystal lacquer, soldering iron, epoxy. What comes out the other side isn't new clothing — it's the same piece having moved through one full cycle of disassembly and rebirth.
We shot SAMSARA in an abandoned underground gymnasium in Bushwick — a poetic setting for a queer community and a cast of characters. I asked my friends to walk in a photoshoot and a runway, and it was a joy to work with chosen family to construct a world where these pieces could come alive.
Nothing is truly new. Only reborn.

look 01
- Asymmetric Crystalized Black Nylon Mini Bodice Dress
- Platform Metallic Lace Up Stilettos
Fractured seduction — nylon twisted, tensioned, exposed. The dress was hand-cut and reconstructed for sharp asymmetry. Edges slash like intention. Threads split like signals. Crystalized for structure. The stilettos sprayed in metallic chaos, towering with untamed elegance.
She doesn't appear — she ignites.

look 02
- Faux Fur Cropped Jacket with Crystalized Metallic Accents
- Distressed Bleached + Dyed Pants
- Black Platform Boots crystalized with Gold Leaf
Sun-scorched glamour — royal, resilient, radiant. The coat sprayed in metallic gradients and crystal lacquer for texture. Combat pants bleached and over-dyed to channel sand-blasted desertwear — raw, cracked, battle-worn. Gold-leaf boots sealed in epoxy gleam like relics from a collapsed empire.
He doesn't start the war — he ends it.

- Cropped Asymmetric Crystalized Black Leather Jacket
- Reconstructed White Dress Shirt with Hand-Painted Sumi Ink Details
- Black Platform Combat Boots Blasted Silver Accents
Sharp, sculptural, subversive. The leather jacket collar restitched and crystalized — glints like armor under pressure. A classic white dress shirt deconstructed into an architectural skirt — raw hems, layered tension. Grounded by towering platform boots scorched in silver spray. Chaos as couture.
She doesn't follow chaos — she creates it.

- Silk White Blazer Dress Crystalized with Gold Leaf Accents
- White Faux Reptile Boots sealed with Gold Leaf Veins
An oracle in full light — draped in white, marked in gold. The blazer becomes a ceremonial mini, sculpted with gold leaf and dripping gold paint. Textured boots echo fossilized snakeskin with silicone gold-leaf embossed veins.
She doesn't speak prophecy — she wears it.

- Black Hand-Stenciled Script Suit (Jacket + Trousers)
- Black Button Up Shirt
An archivist of the underground. A classic black suit reimagined as scripted formalwear — mythic, coded, precise. Hand-drawn sacred symbols, hieroglyphs, geometry — invocations of forgotten alphabets. The shirt dyed black anchors the chaos in quiet rebellion.
He isn't dressed — he's encrypted.
see the piecelook 06
- Crystalized Hand-Painted Metallic Canvas Trench Coat
- Ash Distressed Pants
A trader from the edge of collapse. A once-ordinary beige trench soaked, sprayed, sanded, sealed — a relic of barter and journey. Paired with distressed pants, it carries the memory of passage through ruin. The result feels excavated from a post-human future.
He doesn't pay — he deals in stories and scars.

look 07
- Dyed Black Cotton Shirt with Bleached + Brushed White Accents
- Distressed Black One-Sleeve Tuxedo
- Dyed Black Silk Skirt + White Swirls
- Distressed Black Ripped Cotton Dress
- White Painted Boots Black Accents
Layered, abstract, arcane. A black cotton shirt bleached and brushed by hand; the surface carved by intention. A one-sleeve tuxedo drapes like shadow architecture over a ripped dress. The black skirt swirls in painted white — the aftermath. The boots complete the ritual.
He doesn't hold energy — he conducts it.
look 08
- Asymmetric Distressed Black Cashmere Trench Coat
- White Script Hand-Painted Shirt
- Black Trousers Hand-Painted Scripts
Sharp, solemn, encoded. Built around a black cashmere trench with distressed knife pleats carved from memory. The shirt — crisp, ceremonial — bears scripts and markings like sacred instructions. Black trousers extend the message; painted scrolls of resistance.
He doesn't guard a place — he guards a truth.
see the piecelook 09
- Dyed Mockneck Tunic Dress
- Hand Painted Script Combat Boots
Minimalist, deeply charged. A long-sleeve mockneck mini that embodies the quiet power of shadow. A charcoal dye gradient rises through the fabric like smoke from within. Paired with hand-painted glyph combat boots, softness meets grounded ritual.
She doesn't cast the spell — she wears it.

- Draped Brown Mockneck Maxi Dress
- Black Platform Script Combat Boots
Desert-worn and ceremony-bound. Dyed and bleached to mimic cracked clay, the dress flows with sacred asymmetry — asymmetrically draped, styled with utilitarian ties and uneven hems. The cuts follow no pattern; they move like incense over sand. Script platform boots seal each step like a prayer.
She doesn't follow a path — she makes one.

- Whitewashed Two-Piece Suit (Blazer + Straight-Leg Trousers)
- Hand-Painted Sumi Ink Script Scarf
- Cracked White Combat Boots
Ancient and exact. The suit — originally dark blue — coated in titanium white and beaten by brush. A final heat-set fused fiber and intention; turning white into whisps, as if stitched from fog. A sumi ink scarf radiates with symbolic geometry — an invocation of power and place.
He doesn't track time — he wears it like memory.

look 12
- Authentic Artisanal Paint-Splattered Deconstructed Jumpsuit
- Bleached Hoodie Layer
- Distressed Boots
- Ripped Black Undershirt
Ritual of the creator — ripped and covered. The jumpsuit is lived in, not designed. A utilitarian coverall becomes canvas, authenticated by use. Sleeves ripped for movement. Bleached hoodie from past projects. Boots splattered in paint and scuffed by time. Labor made visible.
He doesn't speak — he stands.
look 13
- Crystalized Hand-Painted Black + White Lamb Skin Cropped Jacket
- Draped Maxi Skirt with High Slit
- Ash Colored Crop Turtleneck
- Hand Painted White Combat Boots
Ash tones and ritual slits — sacred, scorched. The jacket cropped like an eruption; the skirt hand-draped to mirror lava flow. The turtleneck dyed to feel like dust. Large brush strokes emulate the volcanic explosion — resilience wrapped in ritual and ruin.
She isn't scorched — she is what remains.

look 14
- Oversized Etched + Crystalized Black Suede Leather Trench
- Shredded Black Cotton Shawl
- Wax Black Cotton Ripped Jeans
Maximalist black-on-black, layered for survival. The leather trench floats over heavily deconstructed pants and a ripped base layer. Jacket etched with soldering iron; jeans dipped in wax — both finished with crystal gloss. Frayed threads, asymmetry, industrial heaviness.
He doesn't settle — he drifts through shadows.
